I agree about the "replacing the web" observation, however I think the nostalgia is warranted in that it's people splitting hairs between the lesser of two evils. While RSS replaced web sites (particularly aesthetically), they are less nefarious than social media companies and search companies whose only goal is to use the content of others to sell ads and their own products.
